a single shot whistled by
a single soldier falls and dies
a single silence shatters in
as he falls bone from skin
...
I look at you, a shell
a desolate memory of what you once were
the holes in your skin
fuel your demise
...
The heat strikes my face
scornful, violent
the flame roars, screams
falls silent
...
Consume, Conform, obey.
Don't speak.
Don't argue
Don't stray
...
i slip in and out of this state
confused, shaking in my own concious
moving from hot to cold
weak to strong
...
the lover lies he bites his tongue
blood flows to show his wrong
feeling the flood overpower
controlling, sour
...
eyes glue, unaware
sugar coated, violent stare
'i promise peace justice
a better place'
...
I was the girl with the velvet hair
the perfect smile, without a care
i was the girl you always knew
i was the girl virgin and new
...
I scratch words hopelessly, at the back of my mind
think of something to say, something unkind
i pull my eyes shut to tear me from you
my hands like putty, my love like glue
...
silenced, I try to speak but the words linger in my throat
My arms shake, I choke
my skin shivers, no hope
I close my eyes, tightly hoping for a breeze
...
there are sunsets more calming
and panic more alarming
than you voice is charming
but i love you
...
Inadequate my words
written on the glass
my eyes blind open
my breath my last
...

A Single Shot
a single shot whistled by
a single soldier falls and dies
a single silence shatters in
as he falls bone from skin
a single poppy
near a shallow grave
a paupers rest
for the brave
we were standing
at the gates
we were strangers
who share our fates
we were brothers
side by side
we were heroes
who will never die
